Looking at the pitiful Akasha, Roddy was actually a little disappointed. What he wanted was a healer who could help, not a burden who had no ability to take care of herself.
If it was in the game, and there was a beautiful female player who needed an expert to lead the team, a large number of people would rush up to her … But now it was reality. A team annihilation was a team annihilation. There was no such thing as "resurrection in the graveyard". Roddy didn't want to see Akasha shivering in the corner when he needed healing.
Rather than that, it was better to give up early and find a more reliable one.
Akasha's level was high, but her mental state was unexpected to Roddy. Fortunately, he didn't expect her to do anything immediately. For such a good-looking "nanny", whether to leave or stay, Roddy finally decided to see if she could recover.
He walked to the campfire and sat down. Before he spoke, Henry courteously handed over the roasted wild boar meat. Roddy took a bite and found it surprisingly delicious. He nodded and said, "This meat is roasted really well."
Henry chuckled and didn't dare to respond because he still didn't know what kind of temper his employer had.
"Do you feel better now?"
Roddy asked Akasha, who nodded quickly. Although her face was pale, the dark circles under her eyes had eased a lot. Seeing that Roddy was so concerned about her, she whispered, "Thank you …"
But before she finished speaking, she saw Roddy take out a few strangely shaped fruits from his pocket, and then he reached out and handed them to her.
"You need to eat more meat, and you need to eat these fruits too." Roddy knew that she was anemic, so these nutrients must be kept up. He added, "This is an order."
"En … Got it."
Akasha was surprisingly quiet. She nodded, and then she got up and sat directly next to Roddy. Roddy, who was eating grease all over his mouth, was stunned. He tilted his head and looked at Akasha who was eating the fruit as if nothing had happened. He thought, What does this mean?
There was only a distance of three to four centimeters between them. When he inhaled, Roddy could even smell the faint fragrance on Akasha's body.
This scene seemed a little ambiguous, but Roddy was really not in the mood to flirt at the moment. He was not used to sitting so close to a woman he was not familiar with, so he quietly moved his body to the side …
The next moment, Akasha moved horizontally without any change in expression, still sticking close to Roddy.
Roddy's face twitched a little, and he bluntly said, "Can you not sit so close?"
"I … I …"
"What happened to you?"
"I'm … scared."
Akasha murmured, then lowered her head and stopped talking.
Roddy rubbed his brows and swallowed back the words he wanted to say. He knew that the other party had been traumatized and was in a weak state of mind. He couldn't treat him like a normal person now …
But I've never learned how to communicate with a mental patient!
Roddy sighed helplessly. In the end, he could only let Akasha sit next to him. He bowed his head and continued to eat the barbecue, treating Akasha as a soft cushion with fragrance.
"Fatty, your meat is burnt."
"Ah? Oh, oh … I forgot to turn it over. Sorry, sorry. "
Henry, who was sitting opposite, quickly bowed his head and continued to barbecue in silence after hearing what Roddy said.
He could keep a straight face, but his heart really couldn't. Akasha's figure and appearance were definitely superior. Not to mention in Kiger Town, it was probably impossible to find such a stunner in the entire Eiffta territory … Such a delicate beauty sitting next to him, if it was an ordinary person, they would have long been yearning for it …
But … why does this guy look disgusted?
He … he wouldn't like men, right?
Henry shuddered, but he didn't dare to show any emotion on his face.
He was very clear that the "Iron Horse Mercenary Group" had become history. His and Buffon's next fate, to a large extent, depended on the mission that the other party arranged for them. Roddy's strength was so powerful, but he saved his and Henry's lives for no reason … No matter how he thought about it, the mission that this mysterious guy arranged for him and Buffon must be very dangerous.
What would he do? Face the vicious beasts? Look for precious herbs? Or assassinate someone that he couldn't deal with personally?
Henry was a little nervous, but he didn't escape.
"Well, today, let's formally introduce each other. Tell me what you are good at."
Roddy withdrew his gaze from Akasha and asked Henry in front of him with quite an imposing manner. As for Buffon, who was sitting dumbly at the side, he didn't expect him to say anything.
"I … I was the one who went to resell the things that the mercenary group harvested. I'm quite familiar with Kiger Town and several nearby towns."
Roddy nodded and secretly thought that his luck was good. He actually found a suitable talent. When his gaze turned to Buffon, Henry rushed to continue, "Buffon is good at pathfinding and unlocking. His nose is good, so he can avoid danger every time he goes out on a mission in the forest."
Obviously, these two people had their own strengths, but the only thing they weren't good at was fighting.
Henry also said something else. He said that they had a wide network in Kiger Town and were well-informed, which made Roddy look at them in a different light. It wasn't because of the things that the fatty bragged about, but because the other party was good at catching the "main point" … He obviously knew that he and Buffon were saved by Roddy because they were "born in Kiger Town." So, the topic of the conversation always revolved around this point.
Smart and smart. Roddy had a good impression of this chattering fatty. It didn't matter if you liked to brag, as long as you had the real ability.
"Okay, then get ready. In a few days, the two of you will go to Kiger Town. I will arrange a mission for you."
"Yes."
Henry immediately responded. The dull Buffon next to him also hurriedly stood up, but his movements were slow, which looked a little funny.
"So … what about you?"
Roddy turned his gaze to Akasha. The latter was close to him with her head down to eat fruit. When she heard that, she looked up slightly and replied timidly, "I … know some magic that can heal wounds."
"I didn't ask you this. I asked you if you want to go with them to Kiger Town? If you want to go home — "
"I don't have a home … I don't want to go …"
When she heard that Roddy wanted to send her away, Akasha's little face that had just calmed down instantly turned pale, and even her voice was a little trembling.
Roddy covered his face and said in his heart that he really shouldn't communicate with a mental patient …
Fortunately, the appearance of Natha helped Roddy out. The Wood Elf came over with an animal skin package. She ignored the other people and directly handed the package to Roddy. Then she stood there waiting for a reply.
Roddy opened it and looked at it. Then he handed it to Henry and asked, "Since you are familiar with Kiger Town, then help me see if these herbs can be sold in Kiger Town?"
The fatty was an expert in reselling goods. He took the package and looked at it. He was a little surprised and said, "Silver Leaf? Such good quality is rare … This is Wood Spirit Mushroom, Snake Tail Flower? And it's even an adult one? "
Henry was very good at identifying herbs because mercenaries would always collect some herbs in the forest and sell them back. But obviously, he had never seen so many well-preserved and high-quality herbs. Among them, there were even some precious varieties that were sold at a very high price in Kiger Town!
"It's not cost-effective to sell these herbs directly. If you really want to make money, I think you can find a pharmacist, pay the production fees, and then sell them. That way, you can make more money."
Of course, he didn't waste more than ten years in Kiger Town. Henry also pointed to one of them and said, "There are many places in the town that sell dracaena, but there are almost no more than twenty years old. The Pharmacist Association has been offering a reward for this material, and the purchase price is more than ten times the price."
Roddy really didn't expect this fatty to be so knowledgeable. He had a feeling of "picking up a treasure" in his heart, but he didn't show too much strangeness. He just looked up and asked Natha, "Are there only so many herbs?"
"There's one of each, and a lot more."
Natha's tone was always calm, as if everything had nothing to do with her. But at this time, her eyes stayed on Akasha who was closely clinging to Roddy for a moment, and then moved away as if nothing had happened …
Roddy didn't notice this. He chatted with Henry about the value of the herbs, but he had some new ideas in his heart. He turned his head in a good mood and said to Natha, "I have discussed it with village chief Brody. We will leave here tomorrow morning."
Natha was slightly stunned. She was very clear that when Roddy said he was going to leave, it was time for her to leave … Although she had already made up her mind, she still felt a little strange on the day of departure.
"I know."
She replied in a low voice, and then added a suffix that made Roddy's mouth twitch, "Teacher."
After that, Natha turned and left.
***
The sky gradually turned dark, and dusk soon arrived. In Elsa's village, the atmosphere in Roddy's temporary camp was very calm. Henry and Buffon were sleeping and trying their best to recover their strength. Rody, on the other hand, wandered around the village a few times. He also borrowed a copy of 'The Essence of Energy' from Brody, which he had found in the ruins of Wagra. He was prepared to flip through it and study it.
The old elf didn't say much about his curiosity and acquiesced to his "privilege."
When it was dark, Roddy asked Henry and Buffon to go back early to rest. But what gave him a headache was that … Akasha didn't seem to be able to sleep well alone.
The tents in the camp were simple, and one person could barely lie down. Roddy asked Akasha to rest in her own tent, but he found that her eyes were red, and she was tugging at the corner of his clothes and wouldn't let him go …
After much persuasion, Roddy finally got rid of her and returned to his tent. Just as he was about to take off his clothes and lie down, he found that Akasha, who was in her pajamas, had already squeezed into his side …
Roddy suddenly felt a headache. "Why did you come to my tent? Go back and rest, this is an order! "
He found that the word "order" was quite useful to Akasha, but it was only useful during the day. Now that it was dark, this patient with "phobia of darkness" really couldn't stay calm at all …
"I don't want to go … I'm scared, can you accompany me …"
This was the truth. Akasha was scared, scared to death.
Although she was sleeping in a tent, the boundless darkness around her was like a mountain when she closed her eyes, and she couldn't breathe at all … So she had no choice but to run to Roddy's tent — because she found that only by staying with this guy in front of her, her fear would gradually fade.
Akasha didn't know why she became like this. Although she knew that it was "inappropriate" for a man and a woman to squeeze into a tent alone, if she didn't do this, she was afraid that she would immediately be driven crazy by the fear that was crazily gushing out of her head!
Roddy was completely helpless. Fortunately, he was born not sensitive to women, and his heart belonged to someone else. So even if Akasha's devilish figure was swaying in front of him, and he had evil thoughts like "pouncing on her and eating her" in his mind, it wasn't that he couldn't suppress it. The only thing he was distressed about was how to solve this tricky problem …
